Are all online dating apps the same? Of course not -- and OKCupid shines as a unique example. It's online dating that sets people up based on their responses to questions that they answer similarly. These questions range from lifestyle habits to ideology, and you can even pass on questions that don't really matter to you.
As such, OKCupid users love the app for helping them narrow down the people they truly have a lot in common with. You can't say that about every online dating site!
Let's see what kinds of people OKCupid users are and how they compare to users of other dating sites.

How prone is your profile to dates?
STOP swiping for nothing, get data-driven feedback and a clear action plan to get more dates.
There were about 70 million total OKCupid users in 2024. More and more people have been seeing the appeal of this slow dating format and it has certainly improved the dating lives of many people. If you want to know how this compares to other dating apps, Around 75 million people are registered on Tinder, and Bumble has around 50 million users.
OKCupid is one of the oldest dating sites around, and they've managed to successfully transition to a modern dating app with all of the features that made them unique.
OKCupid's online dating format is about both people answering questions. Two people are matched based on the percentage of questions they both answered the same! It's a great way to know if you have a lot in common with someone before swiping or talking.
It's not like Tinder (who is also owned by Match Group, by the way) where you operate based on lust. OkCupid is truly about getting to know the other person -- which is why the vast majority of OKCupid users are there for relationships. 72% of OKCupid respondents say they're using it to find a relationship. This contrasts to only 50% of Tinder users looking for serious relationships. Another app which is largely used to find serious relationships is Hinge where 87% of users are looking for something serious.
You're bound to find someone special with OKCupid as there are about 1 million daily active users on the dating app! That might not be a whole lot compared to other dating sites, but the features are what make OKCupid unique and worth trying.
Meanwhile, there are about 2 million OkCupid users logging on every month. The online dating industry is certainly booming, in part thanks to all those OkCupid users logging on all the time!
One of those OKCupid users is bound to be someone special.

It's good to know how much money the dating sites are pulling in, as they help you to figure out if you need to pay to get the goods or if it's okay just to use it for free. OKCupid earned about $110 million in 2024. As far as online dating goes, that's not bad.
What do you get when you pay for OkCupid? Here are the features:
As you can see, OkCupid users can benefit a little by becoming paying customers. You can slide into conversations more quickly. But does that massively improve your dating life? In the end, the best thing you can have for dating apps and dating sites is a really good profile. This is as true for OkCupid users as it is for users on any other site or app. Similarly, only 0.2% of POF users are paying users, meaning that this app is great if you don’t want to shell out any unnecessary money on your dating experience

What are OKCupid users like? Are you bound to find someone you're interested in on the app? Is it the best platform for online dating? Let's take a look.
OKCupid dating is one of the most favorable in terms of equal gender representation. Nearly half of OKCupid respondents are women, which is crazy to think about! Compare that with Tinder, where only a quarter of users are women.
OKCupid has been around for awhile and the average age of OKCupid users accordingly skews a little older. However, there are still plenty of younger women and men who find the OKCupid dating format refreshing and fun.
The average age of OKCupid respondents is 27 years old, however the age filter ensures an older woman or younger woman alike will have a good time on the app. If you’re looking for a dating app where you can find more mature matches, the average age of Match.com users is 36 years old.

How prone is your profile to dates?
STOP swiping for nothing, get data-driven feedback and a clear action plan to get more dates.
Before jumping into digital dating, you want to know how the results will look for you, right? How many people can you expect to meet on the app?
Online dating is a game of patience for both girls and guys. Everyone knows the deal: a guy will get a match once in a blue moon, while girls are swimming in them. However, this doesn't mean that girls are necessarily having a better time; wading through a bunch of garbage matches is arguably worse than getting infrequent matches.
Guys, you're going to need to know something before you jump into online dating, and it's this: you're going to see a lot of girls you wish you could talk to, that you're not going to be able to talk to. It's a simple case of supply and demand. Straight women can get a ton of matches after a few minutes on a dating app, so they have to be much pickier. That doesn't necessarily mean that you aren't good enough; it just means that a woman is more likely to make choices quickly and impulsively. That's online dating for you, no matter what the app.
That's why it's a great idea to have a profile that showcases your best qualities -- but also comes off strong with a compelling profile picture and bio. That is the winning combination.
Oh, and you'll have to exercise patience, as you can expect to get only 1 match out of every 40 likes. This is roughly true for all the other dating apps, too.
The percentage of men that have less than a match per day is about 52%. Hey, you don't always find success when trying to meet people on Friday night, and the same is true for dating apps. If you let that get you down, are you really ready for a relationship? Ladies love a man with thick skin, you know.
The percentage of men that have less than a match per week is 13%. If this number depresses you, just keep in mind that it's virtual dating. It's not the same as getting rejected in real life. Just temper your expectations and you'll start to see the real benefits of online dating -- it puts you in contact with more people, full stop.
Girls, get ready to get a lot of attention when OKCupid dating. There's a lot of guys out there who think more with their genitals than their brain, and you can never know the difference. You'll be seeing a lot of handsome guys, but just know that you're going to be the one keeping things grounded. Don't be afraid to test guys so they have to work a little harder for you. That's dating life in a nutshell.
The success rate for girls is about 45%; that's the ratio of matches to likes. Essentially, there's a 50/50 chance that someone she likes will like her back.
Let's look at the swipe statistics, male vs. female. How much are men and women liking on the app?
Men like on average 1 out of 3 profiles on the app. That's pretty much in line with the most popular dating apps. Men are just as needy no matter what app they're using -- who knew? Good for the online dating industry at least.
Women, on the other hand, only swipe right on 1 out of every 16 profiles. Remember that she can expect to get matched with about half of those.
If these numbers make you sad, guys, think about it this way: do you have fun when playing a game that's too easy? Of course you don't. That's why you shouldn't blame women for finding ways to be selective and setting up obstacles; there needs to be some tension when dating!
